International Studies gives students the knowledge and tools to connect their own life experiences with people, places, and events around the world. We prepare our International Studies majors for creative and socially responsible engagement with a globalized world in their professional and personal lives. International Studies offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that examines economic, political systems and connections within specific geographical, cultural, historical, and social contexts. Our faculty originate from diverse disciplines and collaborate at Southern Oregon University to mentor students, providing them with a wealth of academic learning opportunities.
